5 year visa seems more appropriate for their immigration history. 10 years sounds too much asking at this stage (too risky).

The question is not to demonstrate she was doing business but exercising Treaty Rights. It's not the same thing. The easiest way to prove that is to provide: - Tax returns for the company - Your sister's tax returns If your sister doesn't receive a salary from the company through PAYE but works unde...

Hello

You explain only if they ask you about it and your mileage varies. They can accept your explanation but they can as well reject it.

You need to show that you didn't have any immigration rules breach during the last 10 years. Sometimes they exercise discretion, sometimes not.

Hello If she is British, any immigration application for her will fail. All immigration routes are closed to British citizen in the UK, which logical when you think about it. Don't worry about the photos. Babies don't need to have eyes open, face camera or have neutral expression. Take a photo with ...

Congratulations! Your story is why I always ask people to abide by immigration rules. Not because I find these rules fair, equitable or balanced but if you break them, you end up in a world of pain. Nearly 20 years for an ILR, lawyers, tribunals, a lot of £££ spent and the stress just for an ILR tha...

Thank you, alterhase58 I have another question, the work history of last 10 years. Is it work history within UK only as my wife pursued her phd for a few years during the last 10 years, does she need to include that? She couldn't find exact date of her employment nearly 10 years ago, is it going to...

To learn under your supervision, she needs 2 things:

- A DVLA Provisional License
- An insurance for learners
- L signs on the car

I am not convinced she will find an insurance with a foreign license.

Hello Yes and no. If you are absent for less than 6 months then you come back, it's fine. But if you are frequently absent for less than 6 months, you may end up breaking other absence criteria and you won't qualify for Settled Status in 5 years. https://www.freemovement.org.uk/lengthy-absences-from...

Hello

You can use this official website to asses the situation:

She has 12 months with the US driving license.

But you will struggle to find an insurance on a foreign license. It's nearly impossible.

Hello I think you are taking that visa description in a very broad terms. It's about Family Visa: https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa A parent established in the UK, can bring his kids A kid established in the UK can bring parents A person established in the UK can bring a spouse (wife or husband)... ...

Hello You take the date when you married to an EEA national + 10 years. So the relevant date is marriage date to the EEA national not when you got or applied for the EEA card. In your case, you can apply from June 2024. If money is not an issue, you can try to apply before. However, you may or you m...

We are talking about an application that was made while these EEA rules were valid. So for the purpose of this application, it's fine. They are not going to turn around and tell you "yes but we are now in 2021". Many people applied in late 2020 and received positive outcomes in 2021. When a road is ...

The reasons why you aren't performing will not be taken into consideration by the Home Office. Even pregnant women can lose their student visa when they have to take time off studies. This is a little blunt and it may worry OP unnecessarily. To clarify, it is not that the Home Office does not care ...

Hello On-demand online video courses that provide certificate of completion won't help you for immigration purposes. Try to get documents from academic sources (such as universities and accredited schools) or professional bodies. You won't be able to build a strong application by watching videos and...

Hello This is not part of the equation. If you are unable to complete your course in time or maintain attendance, that will eventually compromise your student visa status. The reasons why you aren't performing will not be taken into consideration by the Home Office. Even pregnant women can lose thei...

Hello

It's not possible to make an application with a passport then get the visa transferred to another citizenship passport.

I understand you would have to surrender the Indian passport. That's problematic if the visa is attached to it.

Hello

Go here immediately and update your address with the Home Office. It will take them time to update their records, but they will eventually do it.

https://visa-address-update.service.gov.uk

Like that, they will have the correct address should they try to contact you again.

If you are paying a barrister or a solicitor, get them to chase for you. It's their job and they know who to contact to enquire.

Hello

Sending money is not a proof of dependency. You sent a money to an adult, maybe you have a business together or something. It's doesn't mean that money is for his basic needs.

It would have helped if you provided a full documented picture of his financial situation.

Hi, sorry for that mate Everything seems to take ages these days.

Tell me again please, I am unsure, is there a solicitor involved with you or are you working alone on this one?

That's a bit late to explain I think. The last option to add any explanatory note is when you upload your documents. But if all this is done, that's it.

What's the issue?

If it's serious enough, you may consider to withdraw your application and submit it at a better time.

Hello

Instructions are here to pay back including the bank account:

If you leave it and they find out, this may compromise your immigration status at one point.

Can I first ask why you would even want or need to hold irish citizenship when you already hold Swiss citizenship, there is virtually no difference whatsoever, both allow for freedom of movement within EU member states. That would be like me as an irish citizen going to live in Switzerland and appl...

No, at Heathrow they just quickly scanned her EEA card and let her go. They didn't ask her about the EUSS status. I believe it shows up on their screen when they scan the EEA card. So they never raised the question about it.

I have a non EU girlfriend who lives in her country, and I want to marry her so she can join me here. @Obie made me realise that it is always important to ask a few questions. I did forget to ask: You said you have not lived together for two years, but have you lived together at all, or have any fi...
